Built for Maximum Freedom During Wingfoil Sessions
One of the biggest frustrations in wingfoiling and foil surf setups is leash interference. Traditional ankle leashes often wrap around the rider’s feet or foil mast during transitions, water starts, and pumping.
The ION Waist Leash solves this issue by relocating the attachment point to the hip area. This elevated connection position keeps the leash clear of the board and your legs, creating a cleaner riding experience.
Riders performing:
- Tacks
- Gybes
- Wave carves
- Pumping maneuvers
- Downwind glides
will immediately notice the improved mobility and reduced distractions.
According to rider discussions and community feedback, many experienced wing foil athletes prefer waist-mounted systems because they help reduce stepping on the leash while riding.
Durable Construction for Serious Foiling Conditions
The ION Wing/SUP Waist Leash Core Coiled Hip is built with premium materials designed to withstand repeated exposure to saltwater, UV rays, and demanding foiling conditions.
7mm Urethane Cord
The high-strength 7mm urethane cord provides excellent elasticity and durability. This thickness offers a balanced combination of stretch and recoil performance, making it ideal for:
- Wing foil
- Wind foiling
- SUP foiling
- Foil surfing
- Surf foil sessions
The cord maintains strong tension while minimizing recoil shock.
Stainless Steel Swivels
Twisting leashes can create dangerous tangles during intense sessions. ION integrates corrosion-resistant stainless steel swivels to ensure smooth rotation and reduce leash twisting in the water.
Corrosion-Resistant Carabiner
The stainless steel carabiner provides a reliable attachment system while resisting rust and saltwater corrosion. This design allows quick and easy setup before entering the water.
Premium Material Composition
| Material | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Thermoplastic Polyurethane | 70% |
| Polyamide | 17% |
| Neoprene | 13% |
These materials contribute to comfort, flexibility, and long-term durability.
Comfort-Focused Hip Belt Design
Comfort is critical during long wingfoil and wind foil sessions. The included adjustable hip belt is engineered to stay secure without slipping or causing discomfort.
The ergonomic design distributes tension evenly around the waist, reducing pressure points during extended rides.
Available Size Options
| Size | Hip Circumference |
|---|---|
| S-M | 70–90 cm |
| L-XL | 90–110 cm |
The belt is also replaceable, extending the product lifespan and allowing riders to swap components when necessary.
